Re: what upgrades to make a bike faster?
You REALLY want to make one of the fastest bikes go faster? Seriously are you pushing the bikes speed on a daily basis to need to go faster?Yam459 wrote:hey im not quite sure, but is there upgrades u can do to a bikes engine and things like that to make it faster, kinda like makin an eclipse faster. So if got like a yzf r6 then later i could make it faster once im ready maybe. ive heard that u can mount small nitrous tanks. Thats a little... gettin out of hand but anyways if anyone has some info about upgrading your bike that would be helpful thanks!
If so, you might want to consider getting into track racing. There are some wonderful MotoGP bikes out there for less than $150k.
Some speed advice:
Weight kills. Reduce weight (inc yourself). Improve aerodynamics. Even the ZX-12R can only go so fast because of wind resistance. When you upgrade 1 thing on a bike, you NEED to upgrade everything else that it effects. (i.e. Engine upgrade = more speed/torque so you need to upgrade tries, suspension and brakes.)
